Dequeuing Font Awesome

Hello,

I have problem with font loading 2 times. I use the following in functions.php:

// Remove and unregister old font Awesome.
function remove_styles(){ 
    wp_dequeue_style('layers-font-awesome');
    wp_deregister_style('layers-font-awesome');
    wp_dequeue_style('font-awesome');
    wp_deregister_style('font-awesome');	
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'remove_styles', 999);

// Add new font Awesome.
function load_awesome() { 
    wp_enqueue_style('font-awesome', '//use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.8.1/css/all.css');    
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts',  'load_awesome', 999);

When I look at GTMetrix, first the following file is downloaded:
https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.8.1/css/all.css
Then:
https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.8.1/webfonts/fa-solid-900.woff2

Unfortunately also this one loads from my FTP server, duplicating the latter:
…/themes/storefront/assets/fonts/fa-solid-900.woff2

How can I prevent it from being used? It loads much longer than the one from use.fontawesome.com and I don’t want extra bloat.

Changing 999 to 1 results in FTP font from Storefront theme being used instead, but still both files are requested:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_awesome', 1);
